| William and His Empire.
The illness of Emperor William Is causing
more anxiety than Is allowed 10 appear on
the surface. As a matter Of fact, It Is gem
orally recognized that the old .Emperor's
death will be sudden. In no place Is this
more clearly recognized than on the European
bourse, where inanciers are in a condition Of
constant feyerishness. What will follow the
| Emper0r's death can. Of course, only be sur
missed, but that the very worst Is feared Is
shown by the violent fluctuations In stocks
directly any report OF Emperor Williams Ill
ness Is circulated. The illness OF the crown
| prince increases the general disquietude. He
gets no better. Doctors protest, but he makes
no Improvement. He has gone now 10 San
| Reno to winter, and the cl0seness with which
his every movement Is watched Is ample eVi-
dence OF the anxiety felt. Germany Is get
ting seriously alarmed, and the question Is.
Can the triple alliance successfully grapplo
with France and Russia combined In the
event Of such calamity as the Emperor's
death.
Tho Triple Alliance.
The Vienna correspondent Of the Times
claims to know that the triple alliance was
secretly concluded last spring. but the details
were finally settled in the recent interview
between Signor Crispi and Prince Bismarck.
''1The treaty." says the correspondent. PRO
vides for combined military and naval action
by Germany, Austria and Italy against any
attempt to disturb the balance of power In
Europe. 1t also stipulates that territorial
notifications shall be compulsory II the three
dliltu pOWcTo oDdll CONSENT 10 sign n treaty
Of peace. The treaty further provides for
combined action for the conclusion OF peace.
| NO one OF the three will be allowed TO desist
from or TO treat separately without the con-
sent Of the others. IL Is noteworthy that the
alliance also covers the Mediterranean.
Protecting Mr.. 6aIfour.
The preparations Of the police to protect
Mr.. Balfour on his arrival at Birmingham
yesterday afternoon were astounding In their
completeness and ridiculous in their magni-
tude. The platforms Of the railway stations
and the approaches thereto were patrolled by
large number Of detectives. heavily armed.
and upon alighting from the train the Irish
Secretary was met by the chief Of the Blr-
mingham police, who walked on one side.
while detective kept at his elbow on the
other. Even Tories who believe. or affect to
believe, that Mr.. Balfour is watched by Irish
assassins, eager to seize the first opportunity
presenting itself to kill him, were amazed at
the extent Of the arrangements Of the police
to guard against an attack upon the rather
| eheminate gentleman who Is entrusted with
/ the work Of crushing the spirit and over
throwing the common rights Of the Irish
| people, and amused at the seriousness with
which Mr.. Balfour himself accepted the stu
alton. The precautions certainly overtopped
| anything Of the kind that has ever been con-
sidered necessary to the protection Of a gov
eminent official in ireland, and came very
near to a taeit admission that the course Of
the government in applying the coercion act
has aroused the indignation Of the people Of
England as well as Of Ireland.

The Tory Scheme
New YORK, Nov st. p. Gill, member OF
Parliament, telegraphs from Dublin to the
New York Tribune today as follows:
There has come into my hands through a
hlgh-placed source, which am not at liber-
ty TO disclose, a document which NAV prove
to be Of revolutionary importance. IL Is no
less than copy OF the memorandum Of a
Tory scheme Tor home rule, which Is 10 be
submitted to the Cabinet at an early day by
certain important members Of the party.
do not say the Cabinet have expressed an
opinion as yet upon the scheme but 10 will
be seen on the face Of It that II Is no idle ca
nard, but serious political proposal / give
the draft In its rough state as a memoran-
| dum.
| The idea Is to establish in Ireland strong
/ centralized executive, depending immediately
on the Queens government, and Parliament
| which shall have full powers Of legislation
4
/ This. II Is thought, can be effected by blunt
| proposal which shall have an effective ring
about IL to restore the Grattan Parliament
| differences. There must be, Of course, fran
chise, and the Catholic rights cannot be med
| died with. 1t must be represented that the
| only fair course Is to restore 10 Ireland her
parliament In its fullness, leaving further
development to her internal management A
| bold and extensive creation Of Liberal and
even Nationalist peers will gild the pill
| Parnell and EsmOnde, fO= instance, would
| be very material addition to the upper
| House. NattOnalists must be allowed 10 feel
do not absolutely control II. The secret Of
strength and Independence Of the executive
Will De found In permanent taxes to be vOt-
/ ed by the imperial Parliament as a cOneOmi-
/ tant condition Of the Irish Parliament These
will be variable only by a regular act and no
such { will be passed against the will Of
/ the government.
twill be definitely understood from the
/ first that the ministers will not feel In any
way bound to resign In consequence Of
an adverse vote. They will acknowledge no
responsibility except to the lord lieutenant.
| This system OF permanent taxes Is the key
| stone OF the whole plan. IL Is feared that
Gosehen will be strongly opposed to II. IL
will be argued first, that IL is necessary TO
prevent the imposition Of protective duties
| and secondly, that the scheme Of land re-
dempton cannot be worked without il.
81, This scheme Is as yet only in outline. but
/ these are the main features Of 1t.
IL Is believed that the scheme as a whole
/ would meet with the support Of many home
rulers, those especially who wish to get rid
Of Irish members from Westminster and are
dlsgusted with Gladstone and Morley for
| giving up that point Indeed 1t Is not inn
probable that Morley himself would accept
| the scheme.
